A MUST IN MY BED.

What is that one thing that you must have next to you when you go to bed at night? - something that you just can't sleep without - it is a necessity. If I happen to forget it , in the middle of the night I would jump out of bed to get it. I am talking about my cellphone - I can't sleep without it. Oh yes, I know what they say - it is not healthy to sleep with a phone in your bed - but mine is placed away from my body . I feel safe knowing it is within arm's reach and I can make an urgent call if necessary . It is a smart phone so if I am not quite ready to fall asleep, I can chat for a while, listen to music or watch a movie. What would you say is a must have in your bed at night ? - or is it just you and your pillows.

It's just me and my husband. While I'm happy for you to have your phone nearby, I can't think of anything worse.

Me too just me and husband. Baby right beside us in her crib. Nothing specific whilst sleeping. Cell phone will be left in the living room.

@creativedesigner Well, I sleep alone, so it stays with me - maybe if there was someone else in my bed - it won't be there.

I need a glass filled with water, a toilet paper that I use as kleenex at night and my cellphone.

Oh yes, - water is necessary - especially in a hot climate.

Many people like to have a phone near just in case. We never know when someone will need us in the middle of the night.

@Kandae11 Actually, I did have one in the bed with me but the cats kept knocking it off the bed. Jealousy I assume.

I always make sure that my door key is right there on the table next to me. Imagine having to leave the house in a hurry at night - for whatever reason- and the key can't be found.

Everything is in the bedroom when we go to sleep at night. The cell phone, the tablet and the two laptops.

I have to have my sleep mask for the early part of the morning if I want to sleep a little later.

@Kandae11 Even though I have room-darkening blinds, when the sun comes up, the light wakes me unless I have on my sleep mask.

My cellphone too. I have a hard time sleeping so I check Facebook and myLot, and play a bit of Cooking Dash first.

It certainly is . In my country when there is a real strong hurricane we lose the service of the land line but the cellphone we can still use.

I have my TV facing the bed -- so that would be my second choice.
